National Marriage Equality Campaign Launches This Week

This week, the group Freedom to Marry launched a national campaign promoting marriage equality that includes a national TV buy on CNN.

“By engaging friends, families, and neighbors in personal conversations about why marriage matters, each of us help fair-minded people wrestling with a lack of information and uncertainty, and change hearts and mind," said Evan Wolson, President of Freedom to Marry.

The ads and website, whymarriagematters.org have stories of real life gay and straight couples sharing stories of why marriage matters to them. Here is one of the ads:

The website also lists some important facts to point out to the masses of people out there who don't truly understand what they're talking about when it comes to "gay marriage," like the fact that legalizing civil marriage equality would have absolutely no effect or legal mandate on churches.
